how to format a mini mac ?

The blinking question mark means you don't have any OS on that boot drive.
You didn't do it the correct way and have no drive that can start your machine.
Since the HD has been erased you'll need to reinstall an OS. Start with Snow Leopard if your have a DVD drive.
Since you erased the hard drive you've also erased any method of internet recovery in the newer OS's.

How to access a mini dvd disk

How do i access a mini dvd disk with either my dual G4 (mirror doors 1.25GHz) or my new MacBook (2.1 GHz duo Intel)? I'm assuming I need a dvd device with a center button (like my really old iBook with a CD drive)
Thanks.

I was given the disk, so no camera.
So I either get an external tray load DVD device with that center button (my G4 has a tray loading DVD, but no center button/post), or get a hold of the miniDVD camera it seems?

How to make a mini mac server work on multiple workstations

I would like to purchase the mini mac server for my 3 boys and set up 3 different workstations (monitor, keyboard, mouse) for each kids.
Can you do this? If so how???

What you are describing is how mini-computers were setup forty or so years ago, and what users were gleefully glad to get rid of when true micro-computers came on the market in the 1970s. In those days the processor and RAM memory were, by far, the most expensive parts of the system costing literally thousands of times more than the keyboards and monitors.
Today the cost of the processor/RAM/Storage have fallen to the point the monitor may be the biggest contributor to total system cost. For example a typical $800 Mac mini coupled to a $1,000 27" Thunderbolt display. The class of system you describe is still around and in use, but generally at a total system cost in the $100,000 range. To make what you are describing work you would need, at a minimum...
A wired or wireless network
One dedicated Mac mini server with installed server application (no mouse, keyboard, or monitor needed)
Three work stations each consisting of an iMac or a Powerbook, or...
one Mac mini
one keyboards
one mouse or trackpad
one monitor
arguably substantial understanding and/or knowledge of the Server application
A recommended alternative would be just the network and three work stations, each operating as a stand alone work station. There isn't room here and I don't have the time to go into all the various combinations and the pros and cons of each, but the recommended alternative would end up costing roughly $1,000 less simply be eliminating the server. It would also be a bit more straightforward to administer.

How to access to my Mac Book Pro's iTunes with Apple TV?

All right, I'm new on Mac. Just bought a Mac Book Pro, Time Capsule, iPhone 5 and Apple TV!
I'm using my TC as an external HD, since I allready have everything backed up on another non-wifi HD.I've already imported some files from the TC to iTunes.
When I go to iTunes on my Apple TV it says that "THERE ARE NO SONGS IN THIS LIBRARY". Do I need to link my Mac Book to Apple TV or something? Everything is connected to the same wifi network.
Any help?
Thanks!!

How to Access Font on Mac Floppy for PC?

I have a MacBook Air and an iPad personally and a bunch of Dell deskstops running Windows 7 at work. I have a Mac 3.5" floppy containing a TrueType font that I need to use in the PC environment.

Someone.....anyone, please please guide me on the above mentioned issue....

Using ethernet port as bridge to a wireless network in a mini mac

Do you guys know how to use a mini mac as a bridge? You see I have enabled the "share internet" (via wireless) with a mini mac that is connected to the Internet via Ethernet.
All works fine, except: _the devices from the Ethernet network can not be seen by the computers which are connected wirelessly to the mini mac._
*How can I make this computer bridge?*
I have researched for a while and I have come up with the following response:
+t is not a bridge, it is a NAT. I believe u can not set do bridging on mac so easy. You have to study FreeBSD networking documents, and do it at command line.+
+Mac networking core is FreeBSD 5. Some features is avaliable at GUI (Like NAT) and u do not have to use command line complicated tasks. But AFAIK bridging is not so.+
Does anyone have any idea of a step-by-step instruction on how to do this? Or is there a software that eases this? Since I am not a network expert, I do not plan in braking my network.
Is a bit annoying as I hear that Windows can do this in 3 clicks...
Thanks for your help.

If I read you correctly, this is not a bridge. Internet Sharing is to connect devices via the Mac, but not to act as a router. If you look at the IP numbers, they are not in the same series (e.g. 10.0.0.2 and 10.0.2.2), so ethernet connected devices will not be able to see the wifi ones. A cheap wifi router in bridge mode would be an easier solution.

How do I store my iTunes library on an external drive and can I still access it as I would if it was still all sitting on the mini mac?

The mini mac is full and I want to be able to use the 2 tb drive as storage and time machine. How do I get the content onto the external drive and access it it and hoe does new content get downloaded and stored to the drive not the mac? Also can I have 1 drive playing storeage and back up or do I need a second? Basic questions I suspect but not to me!

1. Drag the library to the external drive, launch iTunes with the Option key held down, click on Choose Library, and point it there.
2. Get a second. Having the backups on the same drive as the original data won't help when that drive fails.

HT1766 How do I back up my iphone5 to my ICloud account, when my restrictions password. My restrictions pass code has my icloud a account greyed out? Can i backup to a wd external harddrive, or try to backup to a new mini-mac, i jUst purchased?

How do I back up my iphone5 to my ICloud account, whqen iI have forgot my restrictions password. My restrictions pass code has my icloud a account greyed out? Can i backup to a wd external harddrive, or try to backup to a new mini-mac, I just purchased yesterday? This is my first iMac and IPhone5, so i am kinda out on my own, and can use some pointers!! My phone is full of pictures, and will not download anything, until i store my pictures somewhere!!

If you don't remember your restrictions passcode, you will have to force the phone into recovery mode and restore it using iTunes. Do NOT restore your backup. The restrictions passcode is part of the backup.
Everything on the phone will be lost.
You can extract the photos from the camera roll the same way you would from any other digital camera. Having a restriction passcode set should not prevent that. do that before you put the phone in recovery mode and restore it.

How can I use Microsoft Access on my Mac?

How can I use Microsoft Access on my Mac Pro?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Microsoft Access isn't available for OS X, so you can't use it. If you need it, you have to install Windows on a virtual machine.
On a virtual machine, you can install the Windows version you most like and the Access version you need, so you won't have any problem using it. You just need a full Windows version with its DVD or ISO image and product key, and an application like Parallels, VMware Fusion or VirtualBox to create the virtual machine. If you want to save money, System Builder versions are cheaper and you can find them at Amazon or NewEgg.
As you have a Mac Pro, I suppose you won't have any problem using a 64-bit version, but it's important you have enough memory. Open  > About this Mac, and check how much memory you have. I recommend 4 or 8 GB of memory at least.
After installing Windows on the virtual machine, you will be able to install Access there.
There are applications for OS X that allow you to run Windows applications without having to install Windows. Those apps often fail, so I don't recommend you to use them

How do I use a Mac Mini + Airport Express + Time Machine disk to backup another iMac

How do I use a Mac Mini + Airport Express + Time Machine disk to backup another iMac?
The question pretty much says it all.
I have a Mac Mini with an attached 3TB Hard Drive used for Time Machine Backups.
I have an Airport Extreme base station which services that machine plus several others.
I would like to backup my new iMac and a MacBook Pro to the Mac Mini.
What do I need to do on the mini to export that hard drive so that it can be used as a Time Machine target from the other systems?
All systems are running 10.6.8.

Well you would have to do backups over a network which is much slower and has highest chance of becoming corrupt. I think your best option would be to get an apple time capsule to act as a network and back if thats how you wanna do that
